Overview
Love won’t stay buried.
14-year old Echo and her mother Ivy, a tarot card reader, live a quiet life in a rural area. When reclusive Kurt moves down the road to restore an abandoned farmhouse, an accident leads to Echo’s murder, and suddenly three lives collide in mysterious and wicked ways. Kurt assumes he can hide his secret under the ground. But Echo burrows into his head until he can feel her in his bones. As she haunts his every move, trying to reach her mother from beyond, Ivy must dig deep to see the signs and prove that love won’t stay buried.
Review
The Adams Family debut feature film is a little rough around the edges, but has its charms. The Deeper You Dig gets lost in its own story a few times, making it feel like a much longer film than it really is. This is the third film I’ve watched (including Hellbender and Hell Hole) from John Adams + family and each has merit, showcasing some promise. But each just falls a little short of being special.
Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)
